to ourselves only that brings the rich est rewards of happiness, but what we do for others that preserves the tones in the music of life ringing so pleas antly in our ears. The cups of cold water stand side by side with the mite of the widow and the costly gifts of the rich, and all of these are only the various tones of a melody which should begin at every birth and close to our earthly ears only at every funeral bier.

No household which is blessed with children, should be without Ayers Cherry Pectoral. In the treatment of croup and whooping cough, the Pcc- toral has an almost magical effect. It allays inflammation, frees the ob- structed air passages, and controls the desire to cough.

Time-Proof Teeth.

The teeth may be rendered time proof by brushing them daily with SOZODONT. No tartar can encrust them, no canker affect the enamel, no species of decay infest.the dental bone, if this pure and delicious dentifrice is faithfully used to the exclusion of every other preparation.

What is this Disease that is
 Coming Upon Us?

Like thief at night it steals in upon
 us unawsres. The patients have pains about the chest and sides, and some times in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has bad taste, es- pecially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is feel ing like heavy load on the stomach sometimes faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and clammy. After while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after few months it is attended with greenish-colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy. and has evil forebodings. There is & giddiness, sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood be- comes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tiDged with yell low the urine is scanty and high-col- ored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently spit ting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes with sweet ish taste; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes impaired, with spots before the eyes there is feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one- third of our population has this disease in some of it's varied forms.
 It has been found that physicians have mistaken the cause of this dis ease. Some have treated it for liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Extract of Roots, or Mother SeigePs Curative Syrup, when prop erly prepared, will remove this dis ease in all it's stages. Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article.
 IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN COTTON
 MT. John c. Hempinstall, of Chula- firmee, Cleburn Co.,, Ala, writes: "My wife has been so much benefited by Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigeps Syrup that she says she would rather be without part of her food than without the medicine. It has done her more good tran the doctors and all other medicines put together. I would ride twenty miles to get it into the hands of any sufferer if he can get it in no other way. believe it will soon sell in this state better than cot ton"
 TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS.
 Mrs. s. E. Bartony of Warmer, Rip ley Co.,, Mo, writes that she had been long afflicted with dyspepsia and dis ease of the urinary organs, and was cured by Shaker Extract of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for four years and never knew it to fail.
 SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD.

he says that a company will be organi-

On Monday evening last quite num-
Der of young folks meandcred from out
of this town to the residence of Robt. S.
Woodward, at Casio Machine Shops.
The evening was spent in the playing
games, etc. At late nour the Young
folks wended their way home in the
rain.
Mr.. Henry Warner, superintendent
of the West Amwell Iron works, Cecil
Co., Md, made us a call on Monday. He
was a most welcome visitor to our sane.
tum, and he is one of our banner sub
scribers. The yellow slip on his paper
bears date up to 1889. Such men are
valuable friends to the newspaper man.
There will hardly be an athletic
club formed here this winter, although
we know of several young men who
have been practicing jumping, putting
a ten-pound shot and throwing the
hammer One active chap jumped bar
over four feet high; the shot was put
over thirty feet, and the hammer was
thrown over ninety feet. There is plenty
of good material here and with little
working a fine organization could be
formed.
Several weeks ago we asked our
farmer friends to bring to our office some
of their big corn, because we wanted to
show our neighbors in Pennsylvania that
we could equal if not surpass them in
the growing of that cereal The Oxford
Press stated in a recent issue that an ear
of corn had been brought to the Office
that had on it sixteen hundred grains
Q600) This is pretty hard to beat, but
we feel confident that some of our good
farmers have corn that will bear off the
prize.
On some peoples hands time drags
slow and heavy. Life is almost a
burden. The happy way that couple,
out in the beautiful, growing, rich West,
is in this style. George Carter and Ella
Crosby went in from the country to see
the Louisville exposition. When they
arrived they found that the show was
over. They returned to the depot, but
found that their train would not leave in
several hours. Carter proposed that in
order to kill time they should get marri-
ed, and so in that way they killed time
until the next train came along.

Hallow-E'en.

There was nothing serious occurred
here ON this occasion, when the town has
almost been turned upside down The
present generation do not seem to have
that spirit which emulair'l those whom
our older citizens can speak. On Mon
day night the little fuckers" threw corn
and rang bells; some of the older bows
unhinged gates, carried off door mats,
turned over bridges built fences across
the road with fodder, and scattered boxes
about. This goes to show that we have
model town, and are waiting for some
thing to turn up. "Hallow-Eve" passed
quietly and still we are not happy.

To Stamp Gatherers.

The most valuable stamp in existence
is the Baltimore cent black stamp,
which was issued in 1916, each specimen
having written upon it the autograph of
James NJ. Buchanan, who was the post
master of Baltimore at that time. A spec
linen of this stamp was sold only a few
months ago for S400. The next is the
celebrated Brattleboro, VT, stamp, also
issued in 1876. 1t is valued at $3.50 an
impression. Another stamp, not so rare
as those last mentioned, but which is
often mistaken for much commoner is
sue, is that put forth by the United
States in 1862, 1t is a . cent vermillion,
with the head of Washington, and is
worth $40 a specimed, while its humber
brother, stamp differing only in shade
of color, which is IL lighter red, is only
worth ! cent.

gentleman left Cowantown, Cecil county,
Nd, some thirty years ago, and this has
been his first visit back to the scenes of

companied by Emma Kurtz, miss of

count of their journey in a manner re-
markable for one of her years. Mr..

Sam Small's Brother.
WHY DID Con MAKE so Much Our.
DOORS? Two WoMEN's EXPERIENCES


Sam Small, Evangelist"
The proverbial philosophy of odd 81"
the venerable plantation darkey, who
gave to the world through the medium
of Small's pen maXiums of worldly wis
dom, clothed in a verbiage of irresistible
humor, has found a permanent place in
humorous literature.
Great surprise was shown when it was
announced that he, having been convert
ed under the ministrations of "Sam
Jones'" would become an evangelist.
At first though, a humorist in the pull
pit seems incongruous. Is it really so?
No doubt the mere buffoon attempt
ing to turn mems hearts to solemn truths
would meet with only contempt. But
truth is not hidden in gloom. Genuine
humor frequently illustrates and fastens
in the mind bits of wisdom that would
otherwise pass unheeded.
In his euology of Henry Ward Beech
err Rev. Dir. Parker says "Whenever he
came among men, he brought June sun
shine and music, and made even des-
ponding and surly men feel that fuller
and warmer summer, the Kingdom of
Heaven itself was mt hand" That is
genial christianity.
Mr.. Small belongs to witty family.
He has brother connected with Armory
Knoxs and Fat Contributors Ttras
Sjiings, a paper which has phenomenal
success in the field of Humorous litera-
ture. Mr.. Frank A, Small is the present
representative of that popular paper in
England, and, like his distinguished
brother, he takes deep interest in the
welfare of other people.
Under date of IS Porten Road, Ken
sington W. London, Eng. Sept. 9th,
1887, he writes "While at Yalding in
Kent yesterday, met Prof S. Williams,
Head Master of the Cleaves Endowed
school. In the course of conversation
about America, Professor Williams re-
marked that Warmers safe cure had been
of great benefit to his wife, who
had been much troubled with disor-
dered liver. Warmers safe cure ian
American preparation) was all she had
taken, and she had experienced none Of
her old trouble for some months past.
Mrs. Annie Jenness-Miller, editor of
New York Dress, and very popular
woman in the fashionable world, says in
her own magazine for October: War
ners safe cure is the only medicine
ever take or recommend. In every in
stance it gives new energy and vitality
to all my powers" This distinguished
woman also says that for ladies this great
remedy is peculiarly effective"
Sam Small is likely to succeed as a
moral teacher. When we remember
how near together in human nature lie
the fountains of laughter and of tears,
the deep effect his discourses must have
on the masses can easily be imagined.
"Why did God make so much out
doors?" exclaimed little girl. We know
not. He has made it and we should
grow in it, broad charitable and genial,
judging everything by merit, not by pre-
judice.

On last Monday evening October, 3lst,
a number ofneighbors and friends of Mr..
Nathan Sanders to congratulate him on
his birthday. Among the guests were
four young ladies' masked with whom
they all seemed to enjoy themselves.
About half past nine all unmasked and
were served with refreshments the re-
mainder of the evening was spent in the
playing of games of which wishing" and
"Bunged up Tight in Barrel" seemed to
be the favortes.
About 1880 they wished him many
happy returns and departed all saying
they had spent pleasant evening as it
proved genuine surprise. A FRIEND.

The barn on the farm of VIM. Merry,
